Weepy Wednesday

Today it was our turn to go inside the Temple with our Mission. It didn’t really matter which day we went as we would have enjoyed the company of any of our missionaries but today was special. The peace and happiness you feel when you are inside the Temple with friends can only be surpassed if it was also shared with your family. We feel truly grateful to have the blessings of being able to go to the Temple. Although we are a little saddened that we have not visited this Temple as often as we would have liked but that is not why we are in New Zealand. We are here to serve the Lord in the way He wants us to and that is to work in the office and to take care of our missionaries.
Again another flu shot session. This time Elder Saunders was not needed to transport the missionaries back and forward to the medical centre so we went back to the office.
This evening we had a farewell party for the Witts and ourselves. All the senior couples in the area were invited. It was really lovely and finished off with Rangi Parker singing one of her beautiful songs. fI must admit to getting a little weepy during her song. The Parkers also gave us a beautiful necklace and cuff links.
